Unlikely: It is an issue as arsenic can accumulate in rice. The main precaution recommended is pre-soaking and cooking in lots of water 5:1. It is more likely to be an issue if rice is the staple (main) food.

Best plan: Try to rinse raw rice in strainer several times till water runs nearly clear. That rids the surface of starch and most of the possible bad things. Also (sadly) brown (healthier) rice may have greater arsenic risk. Also, cook it as you know to be the right way. I don't think over/under increases the arsenic - rinsing does help.
